Um einen Walzendrehschieber in einer solchen Kunststoffsauganlage anzuordnen ist eine sehr genaue Öffnung über die gesamte Lange der Ansauganlage erforderlich Die hohe Genauigkeit der Öffnung wird insbesondere zur Vermeidung von Leckluft im Bereich des Walzendrehschiebers bzw des drehbaren Elements gefordert Diese Genauigkeit kann beispielsweise durch Nachbearbeitung des Kunststoffteils erzielt werdenIn order to arrange a rotary valve in such a plastic suction system, a very precise opening over the entire length of the suction system is required.The high accuracy of the opening is particularly required to avoid leakage in the area of the rotary valve or the rotatable element.This accuracy can be achieved, for example, by reworking the plastic part
Aus einer weiteren Veroffentlichung DE 43 44 504 ist es bekannt, zur Reduzierung der Leckluft sogenannte Kolbenringe auf dem Walzendrehschieber anzuordnen Dieses System erfordert jedoch zusatzlich BauteileFrom a further publication DE 43 44 504 it is known to arrange so-called piston rings on the rotary rotary valve to reduce the leakage air. However, this system additionally requires components

Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, daß dieses zylinderfbrmige drehbare Element kein starres Gebilde ist, sondern aus einzelnen, nebeneinanderliegend angeordneten Einzelelementen bzw einzelnen Gliedern besteht, die sich der Innenkontur der Bohrung in der Ansauganlage anpassen Die einzelnen Elemente sind relativ zueinander beweglich, und zwar in der Art, daß geringfügige radiale Verschiebungen oder auch Krümmungen kompensiert werden können Selbstverständlich sind die Einzelelemente so miteinander gekoppelt, daß eine Übertragung der Stellbewegung möglich istThe main advantage of the invention is that this cylinder-shaped rotatable element is not a rigid structure, but consists of individual, adjacent elements or individual elements that adapt to the inner contour of the bore in the intake system.The individual elements are movable relative to each other, namely in such a way that slight radial displacements or curvatures can be compensated for. Of course, the individual elements are coupled to one another in such a way that the actuating movement can be transmitted
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Verbindung der Einzelelemente untereinander mit einer Kugelkopfrastung oder alternativ mit einer Klauenkupplung erfolgen Auch die Einleitung der Stellbewegung auf die Elemente an einem Ende des zylinderformigen Elements kann mit einer Klauenkupplung bewerkstelligt werden Dies hat den Vorteil, daß schon in diesem Bereich eine Entkopplung erfolgt und damit Achsfluchtfehler kompensiert werdenAccording to one embodiment of the invention, the connection of the individual elements to one another can be carried out with a ball head catch or alternatively with a claw coupling. The initiation of the actuating movement on the elements at one end of the cylindrical element can also be accomplished with a claw coupling. This has the advantage that already in this area decoupling takes place and axis misalignment is compensated
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können die Einzelelemente zusatzlich mit Dichtlippen oder anderen Dichtelementen ausgestattet sein Auch dies tragt zur weiteren Reduzierung der Leckluft bzw Falschluft beiAccording to a further embodiment of the invention, the individual elements can additionally be equipped with sealing lips or other sealing elements. This also contributes to a further reduction of the leakage air or false air
Ein vorteilhaftes Herstellverfahren für eine Ansauganlage ist die sogenannte Schmelzkerntechnik Selbstverständlich kann die Ansauganlage auch in Halbschalentechnik oder weiteren Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt werden Die Einzelelemente des Walzendrehschiebers bzw des drehbaren Elements sind KunststoffspritzgußteileAn advantageous manufacturing process for an intake system is the so-called melt core technology. Of course, the intake system can also be manufactured using half-shell technology or other injection molding processes. The individual elements of the rotary valve or the rotatable element are injection molded plastic parts
Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemaßen Aufbaus liegt darin, daß die Ansauganlage nach Art eines Baukastensystems je nach Zylinderzahl des Motors zusammengesetzt werden kann Durch einfaches Zustecken weiterer Einzelelemente kann dieSchaltwalze an die Anzahl der Zylinder der Brennkraftmaschine angepaßt werdenAnother advantage of the construction according to the invention is that the intake system can be assembled in the manner of a modular system, depending on the number of cylinders in the engine. By simply plugging in further individual elements, the shift drum can be adapted to the number of cylinders in the internal combustion engine
Alternativ zu der Verwendung einer KugelkopfVerbindung können zwischen den Einzelelementen auch Verbindungselemente in Form von steckbaren Zwischenteilen vorgesehen sein Diese Verbindungselemente können mit den Einzelelementen ver schnappt, verrastet oder in anderer Art und Weise befestigt sein Die Verbindungselemente haben den Vorteil, daß eine Verschleißwirkung nicht auftritt, da keine Reibung zwischen zwei Teilen stattfindet Die Verbindungselemente sind fest mit den Einzelelementen gekoppelt und bewirken aufgrund ihrer Geometrie einen Ausgleich der radialen Verschiebungen oder KrümmungenAs an alternative to using a spherical head connection, connecting elements in the form of pluggable intermediate parts can also be provided between the individual elements.These connecting elements can be snapped, latched or secured in some other way with the individual elements.The connecting elements have the advantage that there is no wear effect because there is no friction between two parts.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, die Einzelelemente in Zwei-Komponenten-Spritzgießtechnik herzustellen Dies bedeutet, daß in einem ersten Verfahrensschritt zunächst in einem Kunststoffspritzgießwerkzeug die Einzelelemente hergestellt, dann in einem zweiten Verfahrensschritt innerhalb des Spritzgießwerkzeugs Kavitaten geschaffen werden, welche durch eine zweite Komponente ausgefüllt werden und welche als elastisches Bindeglied zwischen den Einzelelementen geeignet sind Dieses Verfahren hat den Vorteil, daß in einem einzigen Herstellprozeß das komplette Bauteil erzeugt wird und sich deshalb der Montageaufwand erheblich verringertAccording to a further embodiment of the invention, it is proposed to produce the individual elements in two-component injection molding technology.This means that in a first process step, the individual elements are first produced in a plastic injection mold, then in a second process step cavities are created within the injection mold, which cavities are created by a second Component to be filled and which are suitable as an elastic link between the individual elements. This method has the advantage that the complete component is produced in a single manufacturing process and therefore the assembly effort is significantly reduced

Die Kontur der Bohrung 24 ist in dieser Figur gewölbt dargestellt und sehr stark überzeichnet Es ist daraus ersichtlich, daß selbst bei einem solchen extremen Konturenverlauf eine Anpassung der einzelnen Elemente problemlos möglich ist Zur Übertragung der Drehbewegung sind die Elemente noch zusatzlich mit jeweils einer Verzahnung 52, 53, 54 ausgestattet Selbstverständlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, eine andere Art der Kopplung der einzelnen Elemente vorzusehen Wesentlich ist dabei, daß die Kopplungsart eine Anpassung an die Kontur der Bohrung zulaßt und außerdem Drehbewegungen spielfrei übertragt Dies kann beispielsweise eine einfache Klauenkupplung bewerkstelligenThe contour of the bore 24 is shown arched in this figure and is greatly oversubscribed. It can be seen from this that even with such an extreme contour course, an adaptation of the individual elements is possible without any problems. 53, 54 equipped Of course there is also the possibility of providing a different type of coupling of the individual elements. It is essential that the type of coupling is a Allows adaptation to the contour of the bore and also transmits rotary movements without play. This can be achieved, for example, by a simple claw coupling
Die Einzelelemente 45 bis 48 sind ferner mit Nuten 55, 56, 57, 58 versehen Diese dienen zur Aufnahme von Dichtungsringen 59 - 62, wie sie beispielsweise auch bei Kolben (Kolbenringe) bekannt sindThe individual elements 45 to 48 are also provided with grooves 55, 56, 57, 58. These serve to accommodate sealing rings 59-62, as are also known, for example, in the case of pistons (piston rings)
Figur 3 zeigt einen Ausschnitt einer Schaltwelle mit einer Schaltwalze 23 und den einzelnen Elementen 45, 46 Zwischen diesen beiden Elementen ist ein Verbindungselement 63 eingefügt Dieses Verbindungselement ist in Figur 3d als Einzelteil dargestellt und besteht im wesentlichen aus zwei ringförmigen Einzelelementen, die über Stege 64, 65, 66 und eine Mittelachse 67 miteinander verbunden sind Durch diesen Aufbau wird eine gute Elastizität hinsichtlich der Anpassung an einen wie z B in Figur 2 dargestellten Konturenverlauf ermöglichtFIG. 3 shows a section of a selector shaft with a selector drum 23 and the individual elements 45, 46. A connecting element 63 is inserted between these two elements. This connecting element is shown as an individual part in FIG. 3d and essentially consists of two ring-shaped individual elements that are connected via webs 65, 66 and a central axis 67 are connected to one another. This construction enables good elasticity with regard to the adaptation to a contour profile such as shown in FIG. 2
Figur 3b zeigt in einer Schnittdarstellung das Verbindungselement 63, welches in einer Vertiefung 68 des Elements 46 bzw des Elements 45 eingeknöpft ist Die Verbindung erfolgt dabei über eine radiale SchnappverbindungFigure 3b shows a sectional view of the connecting element 63, which is buttoned in a recess 68 of the element 46 or the element 45. The connection is made via a radial snap connection
Figur 4 zeigt eine Variante, bei der das Verbindungselement 63 über eine axiale Schnappverbindung 69, 70 mit den einzelnen Elementen 46 und 45 verbunden ist Selbstverstandich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, bei entsprechend konstruktiver Ausgestaltung das Verbindungselement 63 in einer Zweikomponenten-Spritzgießtechnik mit den beiden Elementen 46 und 45 zu verbinden Die wesentliche Eigenschaft des Verbindungselements 63 liegt in der hohen Torsionssteifigkeit und einer guten BiegeelastizitatFIG. 4 shows a variant in which the connecting element 63 is connected to the individual elements 46 and 45 via an axial snap connection 69, 70. Of course there is also the possibility, with a corresponding structural design, of the connecting element 63 in a two-component injection molding technique with the two elements 46 and 45 to connect The essential property of the connecting element 63 lies in the high torsional rigidity and a good bending elasticity
Die in Figur 4 bzw auch in Figur 3 gezeigten Nuten 71 , 72 dienen zur Aufnahme von Dichtungsringen, wie sie bereits in Figur 2 dargestellt sind The grooves 71, 72 shown in FIG. 4 and also in FIG. 3 serve to accommodate sealing rings, as are already shown in FIG. 2
